Princess Diana (†36): That's why this outfit is called the "Revenge Dress"

The famous little black dress, which Princess Diana, who died in 1997, wore at a reception in the Serpentine Gallery in London, made headlines back in 1994. The mother of Prince Harry and Prince William wasn't used to wearing that tantalizing of an attire. But why is it called "Revenge Dress" today?

The reason for the strange nickname "Revenge Dress" is simple. While Princess Diana (†36) attended a reception at the Serpentine Gallery in London in June 1994, the documentary by Jonathan Dimbleby, in which Prince Charles (69)talked at length about his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles (71), who is now the Duchess of Cornwall, was shown on television.

Diana knew that Prince Charles wanted to use his confession on television to improve his image among the population. So the day before the newspapers could print the headlines, she visited the reception in the English capital in this tantalizing dress.
